85% Review Sony Vaio T13 SVT1312V1ES Ultrabook | Notebookcheck
Touch-book. Sony is affordable. A real SSD, high-end aluminum chassis and touchscreen for 885 Euros (~$1164). A premium Vaio for little money?

The T Series 13 starts at $669 with a Core i3 processor, non-touch display, and 320GB hard drive plus 32GB flash cache. Our test unit's $899 price comes from upgrading to the Core i5 chip ($70), a 500GB hard drive ($30), 6GB of memory ($30), and the touch screen ($100). All models come with a very good selection of other software, in addition to the touch-aware apps detailed earlier.

Source: APC Mag English Archive.org version
Instead of the usual middle-of-the-road laptop offerings, Sony has opted for a high-end Core i7-powered machine. Priced at just under $1,500, the Sony is an OK buy if you need this exact feature set. Otherwise, though, you’d be better off with a cheaper competitor.

Sony has essentially taken their 13-inch ultrabook model and scaled it up with a 14-inch display for the SVT14117CXS. This wouldn't be bad necessarily if they added extra performance or features for it. Instead, it features that same basic display resolution while adding extra size and weight. To make matters worse, it even has a smaller battery pack for less running time than its smaller version.

60% Sony VAIO T (T13122CXS) Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
It's hard to recommend the Sony VAIO T13122CXS. At first glance the device is sleek and beautiful, but looks alone are not enough to carry a device, or justify a $700 price tag. While the notebook excels in certain areas, its faults all but negate those strong points. It offers a beautiful chassis, but the display is underwhelming; and where it has a comfortable quality keyboard, the multi-gesture touch is all but incompatible with Windows 8.

The $1,099 Sony VAIO T Series 15 Touch Ultrabook combines fast performance in a portable design. Its design stands out from the crowd, but still exudes a level of sophistication that will appeal to both student and mobile professionals. The full HD touch-screen display is beautiful, but the battery life and mushy keyboard leave something to be desired.

Sony Vaio SV-T1511M1E/S

Just like all Sony laptops, the Sony Vaio SV-T1511M1E/S is a stylish 15-inch ultrabook that will give a solid impression in terms of ergonomics, build quality and feel. The case is made from magnesium alloy which gives a premium look and solid feel. In addition, the brushed aluminum finish leaves a high quality impression. Impressively, this ultrabook only weighs 2.22kg. So, it offers great portability without compromising screen size. The 15-inch full-HD display has a decent resolution of 1920x1080 pixels and is equipped with LED backlighting. In addition, the screen is also a touchscreen. Considering that Windows 8 was built with touch screen interface in mind, the Windows 8 experience on this laptop should be amazing and enjoyable.

This ultrabook is not only thin, but also features excellent input devices including a backlit keyboard and an excellent touchpad. Despite of its lightweight and thin design, this laptop offers a surprisingly long battery life. In fact, it is on par with thicker ultrabooks. Powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, this ultrabook is a reliable machine with a high performance level to run everyday tasks such as browsing, multimedia and office tasks. The only downside is that Sony did not install a dedicated graphic card. Hence, it is clear that this ultrabook cannot run the latest games with the highest detail settings. However, its performance is still sufficient for entertainment and everyday tasks. Nevertheless, the Sony Vaio SVT1511M1E/S still lures with really great features at an attractive price.

Against the flow. Sony equips its first 15-inch ultrabook with a Full HD resolution and touchscreen right away. Less than 900 Euros (~$1171) also appears very low compared with The Spectre XT Touchsmart 15 and ZenBook UX51VZ. Where's the catch?

The Sony VAIO T Series 15—what we'll call the T15 Touch and Sony calls model SVT15112CXS—has a lot going for it, most conspicuously a sleek design and gorgeous 15.5-inch high-def display. The VAIO T Series 15 has a sleek design, gorgeous 1080p touch screen, and solid performance, though the lack of a Blu-ray drive and merely passable speakers surprised us for a multimedia-centric laptop with the Sony name.

When stacked up against other touch-enabled ultrabooks, the Sony VAIO T15 Touch (SVT15112CXS) is an able, if not jaw dropping, system. It offers a healthy selection of features, from the hot-new-thing touch screen to the increasingly hard-to-find optical drive, and it adds a healthy serving of value with several premium programs and enticing service trials bundled with it. It doesn't supplant the Editors' Choice Asus Zenbook Prime Touch UX31A-BHI5T, but it makes a solid showing without a premium price.

70% Sony Vaio T14 Touch Review
Source: Digital Trends English Archive.org version
An entry-level Sony Vaio T is priced at just $669. That, however, is without the touchscreen, solid-state drive, or processor upgrade. Adding those features bumps the price up to a far less affordable $1,149. There are plenty of Ultrabooks that sell for that much or more, but most offer a better display. Our review unit’s dismal 1366 x 768 panel can’t compete in the premium market.

There’s no single feature of the T Series 13 that is particularly eye-catching or innovative. However, it does provide you with an ultraportable design with good performance and battery life for well under £800, which – regardless of what you think about touch-screens on laptops – still makes it good value for money when compared to many of its ultrabook rivals.

The Sony Vaio T-13 (SVT13126CNS) is a fairly premium ultrabook at is price. But that is only if you really need the touchscreen capabilities in addition. You might be better off considering the HP Spectre XT, the HP Envy 4 or the Lenovo IdeaPad U410 in case a capable ultrabook is all you need. And for the price it is available at, we would recommend it any day. The touchscreen is an additional bonus over the previous generation. However, if you aren't very finicky about having a touchscreen, the slimmer HP Spectre XT might be worth considering.

3337U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q1 2013. Offers a core clock of 1.8 - 2.7 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1100 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

3517U: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.9 - 3.0 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1150 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

3537U: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q1 2013. Offers a core clock of 2.0 - 3.1 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1200 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

Intel Core i3:

3217U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.8 GHz (no Turbo Boost) and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

3227U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q1 2013. Offers a core clock of 1.9 GHz (no Turbo Boost) and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1100 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

4020Y: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz (no Turbo Boost). Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4200 and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

79.68%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
